Senegal MPs back electoral reform for Sonko candidacy

Senegal's National Assembly overwhelmingly approved changes to the electoral code on Tuesday, introducing provisions that could pave the way for Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko to run in the 2029 presidential election. The reform was passed with broad support, marking a significant shift in the country's political landscape. Sonko, a prominent opposition figure turned prime minister, has been a polarizing force in Senegalese politics.
